Yakuza games are not brief. They're laser-focused on getting you to hang out as much as possible in the world of their eternally lovable himbos. They accomplish this with tons of great NPC interactions, minigames, sidestories, and an overarching narrative you actually want to see to completion featuring characters you're made to love by the end of their first cutscene.
Yakuza games are not brief, so believe me when I say that Yakuza 5 makes the rest of the games in the series (thus far) feel like quick 8-10 hour romps by comparison. Yakuza 5 is like... Dragon Quest XI length. It's unreal. There's so much game here, and for some people it's probably going to be way too much.
Who can blame 'em? Five main characters, five cities and a crime story that feels like it'll swallow all of Japan! It's a lot to handle, but for someone like me that just loved to be around it all I couldn't get enough. I was completely enraptured by all of Yakuza 5's twists and turns and its final section made me cry so incredibly hard. More than any other installment, this one was a full-fledged journey.
